  1. Went back to 3.2.3 to test the WebUI lagging I was having in 3.3, have upgraded to 3.3 again and have just had it fail to connect to the WebUI. I selected files to not download and it wasn't updating and then timed out. I've had zero issues with 3.2.3. This is running on a atom N455 on 7 starter with 1GB RAM. I do have the low CPU option enabled if that matters any.. Anyone else use the WebUI and having any similar issues? I'll disable the low CPU setting and see what happens..

  2. Does anyone else download partially from a torrent and dislikes having the contents moved to the "completed" folder? I was thinking having files that aren't being downloaded as of yet to able to be listed as scheduled or queued so that the torrent didn't complete until all of those files are completed.

  3. Has anyone else experienced issues with the Webui with 3.3 (maybe while downloading multiple torrents at once?) I've had it unable to refresh and it's even timed out at which point I have to refresh/reload the page.

    Also I've had the Webui up and selected files to not download and it didn't take.. it's like there's a massive lag with sending info to the client. I tried it multiple times and had to make a remote connection and change it that way, I've never once experienced any issues with it before upgrading so I guess I'll revert to 3.2.3 and see if the issues disappear.

  4. is it safe now to test the beta version?

    'safe' as in?????

    He means does it actually work without breaking something.

    There is that upload limiter issue Rafi posted about.. 3.4 isn't going to break your computer and there doesn't seem to be any major bugs.. Give it a shot.

  5. Quit trolling.

    He's just acting the somewhat moderator (I guess that's basically his self appointed role) so as such I kinda expect those posts from him. There's certainly no harm in making requests again, especially when nobody is actually responding to them, so it really is the more the merrier to a point.

  6. You guys are super awesome, of course, but how does:
    2013-03-27: Version 3.3 stable (build 29462)

    - Fix: Torrent added via magnet link could become stuck at "Checked 0.0%"

    Get into a "stable" release?!?! You didn't try adding a magnet torrent before releasing?

    I've mentioned it multiple times here and on other forums, I think they do almost zero testing in house.

    Some sites don't have faith that stable means stable when it comes to uTorrent, as such it can undergo testing by tracker staff until being deemed stable where as other clients may just get auto accepted. This saga has been going on ever since 3.0 came out.

    AdamK said things might get better, but I wonder if auto updates are really just going to mask the bad coding practices. It's been two years now, and while 3.3 now looks to be a fairly solid release thanks to multiple new builds, I have yet to see any improvements made to the way the staff codes and tests their product.

  7. I'm cautiously optimistic that soon we'll be able to make stable releases faster, and with less bugs.

    Then I shall be cautiously optimistic also. I hope you guys can define stable as being truly stable in future builds and win back some community favor.

  8. Having problems...

    please help

    Where people can learn to read three posts up and see it's already been posted about enough times that staff are aware of the issue and are attempting to fix it

    Come on' date=' we all aren't computer genius's so cut us some slack.

    It doesn't take a genius to do what I suggested, you're inventing excuses for an individual's unwillingness to take a simple step to solve something themselves.

    It's not rocket science, it's knowing how to find information (which is terribly simple these days)

    In this particular case it was as simple as clicking the previous page. Education > ignorance.

    No issues with build 29462 so far, looking good.

  9. I had no issue either, I think you might have missed one of the options. You could always reinstall your old version and try reinstalling again and making 100% sure you untick all the options and report back.

    is it me or does this latest release install toolbar and that other junk without permission?

    For some reason when installing everything got installed even though i declined and unchecked all.

  10. this is a forum.

    Where people who have problems get help from others.

    Where people can learn to read three posts up and see it's already been posted about enough times that staff are aware of the issue and are attempting to fix it :P Read a few more posts up and there's a solution (revert to the previous build) which I myself posted. You can learn all this by actually understanding what a forum is and actually spending two seconds to open your eyes and engage your brain. :rolleyes:

    We have posted a fix for the "Checked 0.0%" problem in 3.3 29462 here:

    http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/complete/os/win/track/stable

    Cool stuff, will give it another shot.

  11. stuck at "checked 0.0%"

    I know this program is free but please test the main function (downloading torrents) before releasing an update :)

    edit: I rolled back to the stable version and all my new torrents are still stuck.. will I have to re-add all of them ? :(

    Latest stable version is not stable. Roll back to 3.3 29333 or 3.2.3 (Google them)

  12. The amount of new introduced issues in each new build seems to rival the amount of issues fixed. Have you guys considered changing the way you release and test? I can't be the only one thinking there is massive room for improvement here.

  13. Thought I'd give this a shot, I grabbed the latest 3.3 "stable" and added a couple of torrents, both sat there frozen on 0% checked and hadn't downloaded a thing even hours later. Reverted back to 3.2.3 started the torrents, they checked 0% for a second then started downloading fine.

    Pretty disappointing that it's come this far with patches and is bugged so bad it won't even download properly. That's the main function of this program borked in a stable release.

  14. We are thinking about releasing something like this.

    Soon.

    I would buy it. Heck' date=' if it will be free, I will just send you money out of excitement and happiness.[/quote']

    +1 to that.

    3.3 already completely removed the app shit so that's a start:

    Yeah and added a whole host of bugs to boot. Bittorrent really needs to get it's head around what a stable release is.

  15. Yes and no... Yes I always try and remind users to do it manually, and no, I didn't change any tune... I've always bugged the devs to make an auto-backup feature. Both tunes coexist nicely...

    Maybe disable auto update for betas for starters? If Bittorrent is gonna roll betas out to everyone for testing why not at least try to mitigate the damage of the buggy alpha quality builds we know are going to come?

    As it is my rule of thumb is: *never* do auto-update... Always click the link to the changelog post in the announcement dialogue and read-it+update+backup manually. Want me to add this to my tips/guide? ... Just to make sure the right "tune" is there for the record... ? :P

    Yeah, but it's not like everyone here is an official beta tester, Bittorrent roll these out for everyone to try and give no warning of just how bad they can be.. so sure since your guide seems to be THE guide to use perhaps putting that in might get somebody here thinking.. if THE guide says don't auto update why do we have an auto update feature? Hmmmmmmmm. :P

  16. Build 28993 crashes a lot. any change to get the previous build? :o

    No auto-backup-on-update "feature" yet ? ... :P

    If I remember rightly, weren't you always of the opinion that such a feature wasn't really required? I'm sure I remember you saying something to the nature of "backup before you test, they're beta builds"

    Now you've changed your tune?

    I made a suggestion for the backup of settings, can't say I remember getting much support from anyone, but certainly a backup of the whole folder would be nice pre upgrade and I think I mentioned that.

    To whoever works for Bittorrent I gift you a mini rant:

    If you're going to use your forum members for beta testing (and I use the word beta here extremely lightly because generally many of the builds are more alpha quality due to what's fairly apparent to be a complete lack of testing) why not give them the ability to be able to auto roll back to the pre update state via the client? How many "reverting to xxxxx build" posts have you seen here? Maybe a few? Yeah...

    Anyway cheers for reminding me of that Rafi. As you were.
